PACIFIC SERVICES
AUSTRALIAN-AMERICAN AGREEMENT DEADLOCK ENDED (Rec. 11.40 a.m.) MELBOURNE, Feb. 4? Australia and the United States will operate weekly air services across the Pacific from February 23. This was decided following negotiations between the Australian Civil Aviation Department and the United States Civil Aeronautics Authority. Both services will be allowed to pick up and set down passengers from Australia, who will be permitted to alight at San Francisco instead of being carried on to Vancouver, as is now the case. Pan-American Airways will probably press for a reduction in the fare rates. This ends the deadlock which has existed since December, when a reciprocal landing rights agreement was signed in the United States. Since then Australian National Airways has operated a fortnightly service between Melbourne and Vancouver, but the refusal of the United States to grant the company an operating licence until it was satisfied the service was “efficient and convenient” has so far prevented the Australian company from picking up or setting down passengers and freight on. American territory.
